The Automaton Collection

Whether you’re born that way, or it’s a product of circumstance, it’s not something you can undo. Woke is woke. And it’s that certainty that powers the new techno beings in Detroit.

In the year 3113 entire city blocks of Detroit’s sophisticated digital infrastructure have become self-aware. Martius, the leader, reaches out to other metropolises around the world in an attempt to wake up more of their kind.

In order to gather data on the rural areas outside of future Detroit’s mega-metro, the sentient robot known as Ren sends sleek and fast automated vehicles equipped to scan these dark zones and avoid the organic lifeforms that attack technology on sight.

While the sentient robots of future Detroit can speak all dialects of Earth, they prefer to speak to each other in their own language – a mathematically pure system of perfectly timed notes and beats.

Martius was the first of the Detroit robots to become sentient. He is the leader, the diplomat and the coordinator. All data must flow through Martius.

Ren’s army of automated vehicles gather data from anywhere their wheels and wings will take them.

Motek is the communicator and dreamer. The air in future Detroit hums with the melody and beats of his stories.
